Tux rental recommendations

I'm trying to plan the wedding from Kansas City, and am not sure where to get the tuxes. The groomsman/ushers either live in Kansas City or LA, so it will have to be somewhere that accomidates out of towners.
Does anyone have any recommendations on a good tux place?

    We used Savvi formalwear. I believe they're national, but not sure where exactly they have locations. I would suggest checking out their website.

    We are using Men's Wearhouse. I am planning my wedding from CO to be in MN.  They have been great to work with.

    We did Jos A Banks. We live in DC, and groomsmen were in OH, Toronto, Dallas, and DC. So it was really the best option since people could go to their local store to get measured. Then we picked them all up at the Roseville store.

    We chose Savvi and they have been fantastic.  We have people throughout the US and they gave us cards to have the guys go to any local place to be measured and just have the cards mailed back to Savvi, so it didn't matter if they had a local location or not.  Plus they have a huge selection of colors and were really professional, which I liked!

    We're using Savvi Formalwear as well.  I got a great deal at the bridal fair last fall and it applied to all the tux rentals.  We're using the Rosedale location and have been really happy with their service.

    I second this. We had GM that were spread around. Like this post says, they let the GM go to any tux place to get measurements and then input them online or mail cards back w/ the measurements. Great service as well!

    Another Savvi customer here!

    We had a great experience with them.  They had the vests we wanted, didn't mind when I went in many times to check on colors, "just to be sure", & all the tuxes fit really well!

    Oh & H got a free suit, which was a great plus for him, as he's applying for police officer jobs right now!  = )

    We used Heartstrings bridal in Hopkins, MN, which uses Savvi tuxes, but isn't a Savvi store (they get their tuxes direct from the Savvi warehouse).  They ran a deal when we ordered our chair covers from there, where ANY tux was $99 and if you rent 5 or more, you get the groom's free.

    All of our groomsmen/ushers were from out of state (IA) and we had ZERO problems with our tuxes.  There were a couple guys that needed a new shirt, but they were able to get a new one to them by the end of the night after their try-on.  I was guaranteed when I signed the contract that if there were any major issues with any tuxes that as long as we got the request in by Friday at 5pm, the latest we'd have the replacement was 10am Saturday. Since Heartstrings is 5min away from where we had the ceremony, I felt more than ok that everything would be fine (and it was!)

    We also used Savvi and had a great experience. Their customer service was excellent. We went to Mens Warehouse and the service was extremely poor. We couldn't believe that they didn't seem interested in outfitting our wedding but seemed so into selling a pair of socks to another guy.

    Like pp said, Savvi is just fine with people calling in measurements, mailing, them, or using their online service. You can set up a thing online where your guys can all input their stuff and you can track who has gotten fitted. They also ran a fantastic deal where H got a free tux rental plus a free suit to keep!
